They are now living on a park bench, but ever Timothy has the motion picture "bug" and daily visits the studios. But each time he calls he is turned down. Finally one morning he hears a director call for fifty people and he is for rushing past the gateman, but that worthy stops him and informs him that it is women and not men that they want. Later, as he is walking along the street, he sees a commotion in front of a motion picture theater and finds that the cashier and usher have eloped. Timothy suggests to the manager that he will take the cashier's place and bring an usher for him. Then we see the two installed and everything is working nicely until Timothy sees Polly. He insists upon escorting her to a seat, leaving Jeff to sell Tom, her escort, a ticket. Tom becomes furious and tears up the tickets, but Jeff will not allow him to enter without a ticket, so Tom hunts up the manager, who becomes somewhat angry when he sees the crowd going from his theater because there is no cashier. Timothy makes a hit with Polly and she invites him home, but her father is not enthusiastic. While Polly is phoning, Timothy tries on the dress and hat she has just received, and getting an idea, decides to be a woman, since it is women who are wanted in all the positions. So he departs with the garments. Polly raises a hue and cry and with Tom starts in pursuit. Timothy secures a position in the same theater as cashier, but makes Jeff acquainted with his disguise. When he sees Polly and Tom approaching he picks up his skirts and makes a mad rush for the back entrance, pursued by the others. As usual, he ends up at a studio, where the directors all fight over him and try to flirt with him. He finally is assigned to one of the directors, who is much elated, but Timothy soon comes to grief, as his wig comes off, and the last we see of the hero he has dropped all his ladies' apparel by the wayside, closely pursued by Polly and the others, and Timothy ends up in the bushes in the park in his B.V.D.'s.
